Al-Ghazzi

Al-Ghazzi refers to a prominent family of scholars, jurists, and Sufis originating from Gaza (Ghazza in Arabic) during the Mamluk and Ottoman periods. Members of the Al-Ghazzi family were known for their contributions to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), particularly the Shafi'i school of thought, as well as their involvement in Sufi orders and intellectual life in Palestine and beyond. Notable members of the family often held positions of authority in religious institutions and played significant roles in the social and political landscape of their time. The family's legacy is preserved in historical records, biographical dictionaries, and works of Islamic scholarship.
